convenience stores named Wawa of all things.

Wawa is a word from the native American language of the Leni Lenape tribe that lived in the area and named the settlement before the U.S. was formed. The word means "Canada goose", which is why there is a goose in the Wawa, Inc. logo. It's an" ideophone", which is a word that sounds like its meaning.
